For months, there have been rumors and campaigns trying to make Idris Elba the next Bond, James Bond. Yesterday, while he was walking the carpet for his directorial for the movie Yardie, Good Morning Britain asked him about it.
First, they handed him a martini and asked him if he likes it shaken or stirred. He told them, “stirred fry.” Then she asked him, “Am I looking at the next 007?” As he is walking away, he told her, “no,” and laughed.
This is the second bit of bad news for the franchise in 24 hours. Yesterday, Danny Boyle dropped out of directing Bond 25 and now this. Maybe it is time for them to hit the pause button and reevaluate how they move forward with other Bond movies. What do you think?
